"AS ONE HEADACHE LEAVES ANOTHER COMES.I GOT A EARLY 90'S 200HP AT MY SHOP AND THE SHIFT SHAFT RUSTED SO BAD IT FINALLY BROKE, LONG STORY SHORT THE POWER HEAD HAS TO COME OFF. THE FIRST 2 BOLTS CAME OUT FINE, THEN I BROKE ONE, WHICH I KINDA EXPECTED, HOWEVER THERE ARE STILL THREE MORE THAT DONT WANT TO COME OUT. I TRIED HEATING THE PISS OUT OF THEM WITH NO LUCK. WHAT CAN I DO TO GET THIS POWER HEAD OFF? CAN I BREAK THEM AND PUT ALOT OF PRESSURE WHEN LIFTING TO GET THEM TO SLODE OUT WITH THE POWERHEAD?I NEED SOME ADVICE THANKS"
